'Just Rewards (2)'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I'm sure there's a lot of crossover among the creators.
Nope. Besides the composer and casting directors, not so much.
I liked both those movies, if I recall. A couple of my friends are big fans of Atlantis. Looks like Joss was involved somewhere in there, too.

Well, they're pretty similar in vibe and look.
Having watched all these Disney movies multiple times I keep seeing links which may or may not really exist.
Tarzan sometimes looks like a cross between Beauty and the Beast and Emperor's New Groove. Plus the skateboard moves they used in Tarzan and Treasure Planet. The retrofuturistic design of Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Mulan and Pocahontas both seem paired as anti-Princess movies (both somewhat humorless).
I am curious which movies you've discovered which were much better than their reputation or critical assessment or box-office suggested.
I've mentioned these two before, but Hudson Hawk and Long Kiss Goodnight.
Actually, if you dig deeper into the credits, two of the four art directors on Atlantis also worked on Treasure Planet (and, hey, one of them also worked on Wall*E and A:TLA! cool! (and another of the art directors is Mike Mignola! double cool!)), and a lot of the background painters and character animators worked on both films.
I like both of them a little more, and see more in them, every time I watch them.
Long Kiss Goodnight.
That's been on cable a lot lately, and it does hold up.
"Mommy, are we going to die?"
"No honey, they are."
Aims, are you planning to take Em to the Spy Museum while you're in DC?
I liked Atlantis even at the time. The plot was meh but the concept and execution were much fun.
Emperor's New Groove is always underrated.
Dead Man and Brick.
I thought Brick had a pretty good reputation. But I'm sure it made no money at the box office.
Aims, are you planning to take Em to the Spy Museum while you're in DC?
I don't know. Part of me wants to because she is all about (spies?) (spys?) more than one spy right now. But then I thinka bout it and it's like, there are plenty of free museums for us to go to without spending $$ on one.
(spies?)
Yes.
Did Secondhand Lions get good reviews? I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who knows about it.
